Type
INSPIRATION
Whether for decorative elements, comfort, or function, our pillows embody the luxe and leisure of Cartagena.
The Magdalena and Bolivar lumbar pillows by Zuahaza in this collection were created from the “extra fabric” derived from their matching standard square pillow sizes. The full line of these designs were purposely created with the goal of zero-waste in textile production.
The Magdalena River is the main river of Colombia and an important one, providing the nation’s drinking water and contributing to agricultural and energy powers. The river flows from western highlands of the country and ends in the Atlantic Ocean at the Caribbean coast.

Tatiana Ordoñez and Veelie Alba
Zuahaza was founded by Tatiana Ordoñez in 2019 in Colombia. In 2018, Tatiana made a trip to Charalá to learn about the rich history of cotton growing, spinning and weaving in this region. During her trip, she met with Corpolienzo, a cooperative of artisans. Together, they decided to create a new line of textiles, born of the artisans’ extensive knowledge and of Tatiana’s desire to share creative, innovative textiles with the global market.

As a social enterprise, Zuahaza strives to embody collective sisterhood between women in Colombia. Following an era of intense conflict, which continues to shape and affect Colombia today, Zuahaza seeks to participate in the peacemaking efforts to reunite and heal our country.
Zuahaza strives to connect women from across Colombia, and to create unique products that reflect our diversity, history and dreams as statements of the unity and peace to come from Colombia. This is what sisterhood means to us.
